Currently the IRC bot attempts to join the channels before responding to the identification request from NickServ as per the pull request: https://github.com/github/hubot/pull/54, however this will prevent the bot from joining rooms that require identification before joining (+r). This isn't an issue with freenode which will accept the nickpass as the server pass, but could be an issue on other networks which aren't as flexible.

We can fix this by only joining rooms after receiving acknowledgement from NickServ that we are identified.
